Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh, no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour
[Verse 2]
Riding intercity trains
Dressed in European gray
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh, no
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour
[Verse 3]
Meet beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through Polaroids of the past
Future's fused like shattered glass
The sun's so low
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour
Written by: John Foxx, Warren Cann, William Currie
